Bettors cashed in on the draw at +220. Both teams were listed at +180.

Donovan had uncharacteristically missed the last two penalty kicks he attempted, but the midfielder buried one past diving goalkeeper Nick Rimando in the 79th minute to give the Galaxy a 2-1 lead.

RSL's Javier Morales scored on a 25-yard free kick in the 86th minute to tie it and keep the Galaxy winless on the road this season.

The Galaxy (4-13-6) dropped to 0-7-4 on the road.

The Galaxy again played without injured midfielder David Beckham. With the international star expected to play, the RSL sold a season-high 24,366 tickets for the game, though several thousand fewer fans were in attendance.

Striker Yura Movsisyan made his debut for RSL (4-13-8) after being acquired in a trade from Kansas City over the weekend. He set up the first goal of the game in the 56th minute when goalkeeper Joe Cannon tripped him in the penalty box, allowing RSL's Carey Talley to easily convert the penalty kick.

Six minutes after Donovan converted his penalty kick, he assisted on Gavin Glinton's go-ahead goal. The Galaxy had barely stopped celebrating when Morales scored his first goal in an RSL uniform. He had entered the game two minutes earlier.

Before the game, RSL announced the hiring of Garth Lagerwey as general manager. The former goalkeeper and teammate of RSL coach Jason Kreis replaced Steve Pastorino, who was forced out amid a front-office shakeup earlier this year.

The Sabres were expected to move players at the trade deadline, but sending their top goaltender to the Islanders appears to be a rather curious move. Buffalo had already moved Jhonas Enroth to Dallas in exchange for Anders Lindback, who began his career with the lightning.

Lindback has been brutal this season, posting a record of 0-7-0 with a 3.95 GAA in seven starts with the Stars. He seems to be the most likely candidate to start tonight in Tampa. In the event that the Sabres choose to press Johnson into action, he's not been that sharp either, coming off a loss to Carolina that saw him surrender five goals on 41 shots.

Tampa owns the NHL's most potent offense, averaging over 3.3 goals per game. That could spell disaster for the Sabres who own the league's worst defense, surrendering more than 3.3 goals per game.

Tampa has won it's last three versus the Sabres, totaling a dozen goals in those three games. We should expect Lightning to strike in Tampa tonight.
